The message read apart, “We write on behalf of all working Journalists in Kogi State to commiserate with you over the unfortunate bandits attack on Isanlu Police Station which led to the death of eight officers of the force.
“The action of the bandits is most barbaric, callous and reprehensible. It is sad that eight officers who were diligently serving their father’s land could be murdered in such a dastardly manner.
